Words of Widsom: Today Is The Day

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. -Chinese Proverb

I’m sure this can be interpreted in a few different ways. My immediate thought, however, is that there are often times that we should have done this or that, especially when it comes to our well being, or the well being of somebody that we care about. But it’s not too late. Each day we wake up, we have the opportunity to do something more than we did yesterday; or something better; or something other than what we did yesterday. Past mishandles, misfortunes, mistakes, should be remembered only to the degree that they help us to move forward. Instead of spending time on the tree that was not planted 20 years ago, focus your energy on planting the tree now that will bear fruit down the road. Make it a GREAT one! Stay blessed.
